Abstract (en)

The tailgate (5) etc. has devices to detect objects esp. vehicles parked behind the car, during at least the opening process. The devices are radar, infrared, and/or ultrasonic sensors (8). They act as parking aid when the vehicle moves at a speed of 0 or slightly above, and as opening brake for the tailgate when below this speed. If an object is detected during the opening process, this is braked or stopped. The sensors are located on the lower edge of the tailgate.
